question

Hi Sam,

Thank you so much for your answer! In our case the order is already paid in our mobile (not Clover Native) app at the moment we send it to the API. So the webhook wouldn't be sent I guess? Thus we have the only option to create a Clover Native app for delivery, is that correct?

@Alexander_Zukov Webhooks would be sent on the instance the payment is made, but this wouldn't help you know about when the food was picked up. My suggestion would be to create a simple feature that allows merchants to track the order status, and can make note of the picked up.

@Sam, thank you for the answer. Could you please explain how to create such a feature? We also have a Clover App for in-store loyalty program integration, we can add smth to it. So what kind of events (or something else?) we should listen for?

Unfortunately, there wouldn't be an automated event that you could listen to. You would have to tell the merchant to go into your app and click a button that would let you know the order was picked up. There's many ways to go about this but one possible way to implement this is to have an app that keeps a list of all orders made online. Once the order is cooked, the restaurant would click a button that would let you know it's done. Once the order is picked up, the restaurant would click on a button changing the state to picked up.

Sam, thank you so much for the clarification and suggested decision! It is very useful for us, we'll create a new app for the digital ordering.
